Melanomas harbor aberrations in the c-Kit gene. We tested efficiency of tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib selected patients with metastatic melanoma harboring mutations or amplifications.Forty-three were enrolled on this phase II trial. Each patient received a continuous dose 400 mg/d unless intolerable toxicities disease progression occurred. Fifteen who experienced allowed to escalate 800 mg/d.Forty-three eligible for evaluation, and median follow-up time was 12.0 months. The...

Metastatic mucosal melanoma responds poorly to anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) monotherapy. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been shown play an important immunosuppressive role in the tumor microenvironment. The combination of VEGF inhibition and PD-1 blockade provides therapeutic opportunities for patients refractory either therapy alone.We conducted a single-center, phase IB trial evaluating safety preliminary efficacy toripalimab, humanized immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal...

Mucosal melanoma is rare and associated with extremely poor prognosis. However, standard adjuvant therapy for mucosal has not been established. We conducted a randomized phase II clinical trial in patients resected to compare the efficacy safety of high-dose IFN-α2b (HDI) temozolomide-based chemotherapy as therapy.Patients stage II/III after surgery were into three groups: observation group (group A, alone), HDI B, treated 15 × 10(6) U/m(2)/d IFN-α2b, followed by 9 U IFN-α2b), temozolomide...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells have demonstrated promising clinical efficacy in patients with B cell lymphoma. However, the application of CAR-T therapy treatment other solid tumors has been limited. We incorporated 4-1BB into anti-GD2 to test their cytotoxicity melanoma vitro and vivo. Moreover, we reported expression ganglioside GD2 non-Caucasian populations for first time, thus providing a basis future research. This study included tumor samples from 288 at Peking...
JS001, a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody against the programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor, blocks interaction of PD-1 with its ligands and promotes T cell activation in preclinical studies. This phase I study is designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, clinical activity JS001 advanced melanoma or urologic cancer patients who are refractory standard systemic therapy. In dose escalation cohorts, subjects initially received single-dose, intravenous infusion were followed for 28 days by...
Purpose: Effective therapies for the majority of metastatic acral melanoma patients have not been established. Thus, we investigated genetic aberrations CDK4 pathway in and evaluated efficacy CDK4/6 inhibitors targeted therapy melanoma.Experimental Design: A total 514 primary samples were examined copy number variations (CNV) pathway-related genes, including Cdk4, Ccnd1, P16INK4a , by QuantiGenePlex DNA Assay. The sensitivity established cell lines patient-derived xenograft (PDX) containing...
PD-1 checkpoint blockade immunotherapy induces long and durable response in patients with advanced melanoma. However, only a subset of melanoma benefit from this approach. The mechanism triggering the innate resistance anti-PD-1 therapy remains unclear.Experimental Design: Whole-exome sequencing (WES) RNA (RNA-Seq) analyses were performed training cohort (n = 31) using baseline tumor biopsies treated antibody. Copy-number variations (CNVs) for genes CDK4, CCND1, CDKN2A assayed TaqMan...
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatments produce clinical benefit in many patients. However, better pretreatment predictive biomarkers for ICI are still needed to help match individual patients the treatment most likely be of benefit. Existing gene expression profiling (GEP)-based primarily focused on measuring a T cell-inflamed tumor microenvironment that contributes positively response ICI. Here, we identified an immunosuppression signature (IMS) through analyzing RNA sequencing data...
Mucosal melanoma is an aggressive subtype with poor response to antiprogrammed cell death-1 (PD-1) monotherapy. Axitinib in combination toripalimab, a humanized IgG4 mAb against PD-1, showed promising rate patients metastatic mucosal (MM) phase Ib study. Here, we report the updated overall survival (OS), duration of (DoR), and biomarker analysis results.Patients advanced MM received toripalimab 1 or 3 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks combined axitinib 5 mg orally two times per day until...
Nectin-4 is an emerging biomarker for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Recently, enfortumab vedotin (EV) was approved by the FDA as first nectin-4 targeting antibody-drug conjugate treating advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC). A PET imaging method to noninvasively quantify expression level would potentially help select patients most likely respond EV predict response.In this study, we designed a bicyclic peptide-based radiotracer 68Ga-N188. Initially, performed preclinical evaluations of...

BackgroundThe outcome of patients with resectable mucosal melanoma is poor. Toripalimab combined axitinib has shown impressive results in metastatic an objective response rate 48.3% and a median progression free survival 7.5 months phase 1b trial. It was hypothesized that this combination administered the neoadjuvant setting might induce pathologic melanoma, so we conducted trial.Patients methodsThis single-arm II trial enrolled melanoma. Patients received toripalimab 3 mg/kg Q2W plus 5 mg...
